Question

Stella graphs the equation y=13x – 2 . Which statement about Stella's graph is true? The slope is -2 and the y-intercept is 1/3. The slope is -2/3. The slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 2. The slope is 1/3 and the y-intercept is -2.

Answer 1

The slope is 13 and the y-intercept is -2

Explanation:

y=13x-2

y=mx+b

the slope is the value in front of x : m: 13

the y-intercept is b, which is -2

Answer 2

hello!

The equation of the line is written in Slope-Intercept Form (y=mx+b, where m -> slope & b -> y-intercept)

So all we have to do is look at the equation.

The equation is:-

`\sf{y=\displaystyle(1)/(3)}x-2}`

Notice that the slope is the coefficient of x, and the y-intercept is a constant.

Hence, the slope of the line is:-

`\sf{\displaystyle(1)/(3)}`

And the y-intercept is:-

`\bold{-2}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Option~D~is~correct}}}`
